Hi ladies I am new here!
So I am 26 weeks pregnant & have struggled on & off with emotions throughout pregnancy but it’s gotten worse over the past few weeks.
Previously me & oh have had quite a lot of heated arguments and rows, more than prior to being pregnant maybe due to hormones or something during these arguments I’d just feel upset & frustrated. However recently my oh Dad has passed away so I’ve been having more upset days. & me & oh have had more arguments which have been 100x worse than normal, I try not to raise my voice and avoid these arguments but partner shouts and screams at me which during these arguments I just feel so angry & mad and & it hard to control!
I feel so so guilty on the days I feel upset, stressed or angry & can’t help but feel like I’m harming my baby & they can pick up on my feelings also didn’t help googling where It says can damage their brain or cause behavioural problems - I don’t know what I’m looking for from this post just want to get my worry off of my chest

Shouting and screaming matches are not normal as an adult. It sounds like grief counselling for both of you may be helpful so that you can communicate in a more constructive manner to each other in a safe place.

I've definitely been less patient and more irritable since becoming pregnant, but we both now know that and I can communicate when I'm feeling bothered or annoyed and he doesn't wind me up further.

He is looking into councilling due to the death of his farther. Which I think will help and we had a good chat last night to try clear things up but it’s hard when I’m horomonal and he’s grieveing!
I’m just so worried about damage I could or have caused to my baby.
